[HumanSer] Request for feedback

[Amy ruell]

Good morning,
Sorry you’re having such difficulty. Long ago when I was in graduate school, I experienced some of the same issues you are now encountering. The school provided me with a placement that did not give me sufficient experience and exposure to the field. We had to petition for the school to give those us were impacted Alternative placements that would meet our needs. The only thing I can suggest to you is that you try to get some information about your interviews, including any suggestions on how you could improve your presentation. Happy to talk off-line about this further if you like, as I have had 45 years of experience in the field.
